Foye Sucks

Along with the free Burks thread, we need a Foye sucks thread, and he sure did suck during the fourth quarter stretch when his man scored some crucial baskets.

I noted from the first game that though he made some shots, they weren't difference makers but only came after the Jazz had broken open the game. And last game, yeah, he was hitting, but the Jazz win didn't win -- well, not his fault by Corbin for not playing the proper lineup when the situation called for it -- but still he is not a difference maker.

We need Burks to get some minutes because Foye is not even a short term answer.

I haven't listened to any of the interviews after the games this year, but has anyone asked Ty why Burks doesn't get to play AT ALL?

Life is like watching Fast and the Furious 6. It's not easy, most of the time it's just dumb and pointless, everything is fake, there is a lot of noise, but if you close your eyes and picture yourself in an open field or a quiet forest, you can maybe make it to the end without killing yourself.

This is a quote from Corbin on Burks' playing time "Just the way the game flowed. I mean, it’s gonna be a tough situation for a lot of guys different nights…Randy [Foye] was playing well; we extended his minutes there."

The flow of the game called exactly for a player like Burks - at least in the first half. From the latter part of the first period to the end of the first half NO ONE was attacking the rim for Utah. Everything was one pass and then a jump shot or Al Jefferson holding on to the ball while everyone stood around and stared at him. And what is the one thing Burks does the best? Move and attack the rim.

Watching the second unit against NO the other night, the one thing they missed was someone who could score off anything other than a long jumper. Kanter and Favors are both still VERY raw on the block and everyone else was settling for jumpers. Burks would have been IDEAL then and now, especially as a scorer on the second unit.

It's unconscionable that he is getting DNP's on a pieced together team like this. I'm trying not to overreact this early but I'm so unimpressed by Corbin and his body of work as a head coach in the NBA.
